b. 160

composition: Op. 42, Waltz in A♭ major

..

The natural before b1 in the chord on the 3rd beat of the bar is only in GE2 (→GE3). In this context the need to use this sign is an issue of convention.

c1-e1-a1 in FE1

c1-e1-g1 in FE0 (→GE,EE)
..

FE0 (→GE,EE) has the c1-e1-g triad on the 2nd crotchet. While proofreading FE1, Chopin changed the topmost note of this chord from g1 to a1. This version, as the later one, was adopted to the main text.

b. 164-165

composition: Op. 42, Waltz in A♭ major

..

In FE0 (→FE,FEG) there is no change to the bass clef here. The sign was erroneously added in GE1, by placing it only after the 1st crotchet in bar 165. Eventually, the error was corrected in GE2 (→GE3). EE also features the clef in the correct place.

No marking in FE0

above staff in FE1 & FEG (→GE1)

below staff in EE & GE2 (→GE3)
..

The leggiero indication, written by Chopin in FEG (→GE), was included also in the base texts to FE and EE. In the latter, same as in GE2 (→GE3), the indication was placed between the staves, just after . It is probably the editor's revision.
